Christian Watson fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 8 (2024). Should you start or sit Christian Watson for fantasy football lineups in Week 8?
BALLER MOVE: Bench in all formats outside of DFS where Watson can be an inexpensive dice roll in tournaments
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Green Bay’s wide receiver room is like a bustling downtown on a Saturday night--full of options but tough to decide where to go. Between Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and the up-and-coming tight end Tucker Kraft, snagging consistent targets is like trying to catch a cab in rush hour.
For Christian Watson, it’s even trickier; he’s yet to see more than five targets in a game this season, meaning he’s usually banking on one big play to make his fantasy day worthwhile.
Adam Stenavich asked if #Packers need to get the football more to Christian Watson: "Yeah, we do. It's as simple as that."

As we roll into Week 8, Watson is more of a bench stash, hoping for that one breakout game or an uptick in targets due to someone else's misfortune.
The Packers get an absolute homerun matchup against the Jaguars secondary in Week 8, but for Watson it's difficult to project his weekly targets with any kind of consistency at this point.

Terrance Ferguson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking.

He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason.
